The pictures at the link don't necessarily go with the introduction date listed. Neither the Chevette nor the New Beetle in the picture is the original design. I dislike both of the models pictured. Didn't buy those. Hate the way they flattened the bulbous Beetle fenders in the redesign.

Hate the way they changed the Audi TT too. Would have bought a new one when my lease ran out, but ended up buying the old one (which I'm now hanging onto).

I learned to drive in a '73 Gremlin, butterscotch with orange trim. There's a tree in front of our old house in Overland Park, KS, whose bark still bears a scar from a close encounter with the left front bumper that about gave Dad a heart attack. Learning to drive a stick can be an adventure.

I had a silver '76 Chevette when I was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA, in 1984. It was cheap transportation, but better than nothing at all.

I'm surprised that they didn't include my first car, though: A red '73 Chevy Vega that drank oil like a wino going through Mad-Dog 20-20. I had some damned ugly cars in my youth. I'm proud to say that none of my subsequent cars made their list.

The closest I came to owning one was an a 1966 VW Bug. A handful of those cars weren't considered ugly by the general public: PT Cruiser, VW Bug, Prowler, Enzo, El Camino, Rav4, Bricklin, DeLorean, Escalade, BMW 7 Series, and the Chevrolet SSR.

About an month ago, I ran into a guy who was 6' 8" and 430 lbs driving a Nissan Cube. I thought he might have been temporarily driving his wife's car and asked him about it. He said is was his and had plenty of room up front. Us big and tall guys can appreciate that and it makes an ugly car pretty.

The story says the new Beetle "defiled" the classic Beetle. But in the process they made a front-engined front-wheel drive car that makes it more conventional. Unlike the old Beetle, it has enough power to actually climb a hill, A/C, and heat that actually works.

And it's still cute. Maybe this list should be "50 ugly or too cute cars?"

Sorry, no way the PT Cruiser deserves to be here. It's got a cool retro look. It was very popular when it first came out back in 2000. The reason it declined so rapidly is that Chrysler didn't update it, or offer better trims. In fact, they started making the interiors cheaper so that they could milk more money from it. There's nothing wrong with it's external appearance.

Of the cars on that list, I owned a few, including a Cadillac Cimarron. Yes, the car was built in the Janesville, WI plant that the Cavalier was, but the two Cimarrons our family had were tight. They both had big six engines that made them a kick to drive.

I also owned a Pinto wagon. Had the "MPG" axle which killed the accelleration. And it leaked oil. But it was otherwise as reliable as a tree.

Why does the list only have one Volvo? Ever car they ever made deserves to be on the list

When I bought my Chevette, I would have loved to have gotten a Pacer instead. But it was more expensive, and because of all that glass, we were told, the AC option was needed. AC added a lot to the price, and it was just unacceptable, back in the days when you could resist paying more than $4000 for your car.

My wife and I had a Chevette when we got married. Took it on a 2000 mile drive for our honeymoon. Had a great time. What I disliked about it the most was the lack of foot room. It was a wonderful little car - till my wife spun it on ice and wrecked it. It was never the same afterwards...

The amount of room in the Nissan Cube is amazing. I was looking at one when I bought a new car this year. My wife threatened me with divorce if I bought it. To me it's ugly in a cute way.

When I married my wife, she came with a 1978 Chevette (four-door hatchback with luggage rack). What more can I say to demonstrate how truly smitten I was with her other than to say I thought getting her was wonderful even if I had to take that car, too?

Of course, while I complain about my wife's 1978 Chevette, she complains even more about my 1973 Capri (V6, 4-spd). She thinks going out with me, let alone marrying me, while I drove that car is great evidence of her willingness to overlook my flaws.

Sherwood Schwartz really captured the ethos of his era with Gilligan's Island and The Brady Bunch. I remember watching those shows as a kid and seeing his name, and thinking that it was a really interesting name and that he must be the #1 man in televisionland...

It looks like some editor in need of some linkage decided to throw together yet another 50 Worst Cars list and put up the first 50 he found on Google. I've never heard anyone say the DeLorean is ugly. Overpriced and underperforming yes, ugly, no.

And while the Mustang II wasn't exactly a gorgeous design, it was a damn sight more attractive than the butt-ugly monstrosities that came right before it.

Anyway, most of these are favorites of our Car Lust blog. We celebrate weirdness.

The 240's front end isn't "stretched' and the Thing wasn't supposed to be rounded. It's a kugelwagen for crying out loud, does this guy want swoopy lines on a jeep? Plus the chrome things on the El Camino were an option, I've never seen one with those that didn't come from Pep Boys. I think the writer may have been picking nits with pictures and not actual cars. ...and a 240 wagon with glass lights is a thing of beauty

Yet another dumb list. Yes, there are some really ugly cars in there, but most are, as Pogo said, blah.

Funny this is that my son and I recently bought a 97 Taurus for him that's exactly the same gold color as in the picture. It looks much worse in person, but it's a good car; probably the best used car I've ever bought!

The DeLorean is ugly? This article mostly complains about its speed and power, but not the design. The DeLorean has its own style, and one person may not like it, but doesn't deserve to be on this list... I've never heard anyone saying that the DeLorean is ugly, or anything like that. And the Enzo on this list?...No comment.
